Come along to Te Manawa's Pay it Forward Market!
Te Manawa Community Hub wants to help our communities to help themselves by holding a Pay-it-Forward Market on Saturday 17 October from 9.00am to 12.30pm at Te Manawa.
Te Manawa has invited local not-for-profit community groups to sell donated household items, cakes/baked goods, handmade crafts, second-hand toys, books and plants, to support our local not-for-profit groups to fundraise. It’s your chance to support fundraising efforts by purchasing goods. Bring your cash and bag yourself a bargain!
It’s election day on the 17th of October, so you can cast your vote nearby NorthWest Shopping Centre and then browse the stalls at the Pay-it-Forward market.
Stay tuned to the Te Manawa Facebook page for updates about the Pay-it-Forward market and rain dates. The market will only go ahead under Alert Level One.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
